관상동맥 우회술에서 동맥도관만을 사용하는 방법은 동맥편이 가진 도관개통률의 우수성 때문에 복재정맥을 혼합하여 사용하는 관상동맥 우회술에 비해 좋은 단기 성적은 물론이고, 향상된 장기 성적을 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 때때로 내흉동맥 또는 다른 동맥편들의 사용이 가능하지 않은 경우가 있고, 특히 당뇨환자에서 양측 내흉동맥의 사용은 술 후 종격동염을 비롯한 합병증을 우려하여 사용이 꺼려지기도 한다. 또한 관상동맥 우회술의 재수술의 경우에는 사용가능한 동맥편 수의 제한이 문제가 되는데 이러한 경우 대체동맥편으로서 흉배동맥을 사용할 수 있으며, 저자들은 흉배동맥을 사용하여 시행했던 3례의 관상동맥 우회술을 보고하고자 한다.

Isolated symptomatic occlusion of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is a rare condition and until date, only few cases regarding the revascularization of the ACA have been reported. This paper reports on successful attempt to revascularize the ACA using superficial temporal artery (STA) in patient with isolated symptomatic occlusion of the ACA. A 69-year-old man presented with several episodes of transient weakness involving left lower extremity. Cerebral angiography showed occlusion of the right ACA at the A2 segment. After medical treatment failure, the patient underwent STA-ACA bypass surgery. Subsequent to surgery, there was immediate disappearance of transient ischemic attack and follow-up angiography showed favorable revascularization of the ACA territory. Bypass surgery can be considered in the patients with symptomatic occlusion of the ACA, who have experienced failure in medical treatment.

We report on two women who underwent myocardial revascularization associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) with different pathogenic patterns. The first woman presented with acute myocardial infarction, and preoperative angiograms demonstrated rapidly progressing coronary lesions, presumptive unstable plaque, and dissection. Operative findings, however, showed fresh thrombi in the coronary arteries, and she was diagnosed postoperatively as having APS. Her one-year angiogram demonstrated improved coronary lesions and a competitive flow pattern in the grafts. The second woman presented with unstable angina and had been treated for systemic lupus erythematosus and secondary APS for more than 14 years. She underwent myocardial revascularization due to accelerated coronary atherosclerosis. Her one-year angiogram demonstrated patent grafts.

Popliteal artery injury in blunt trauma of knee joint is not common but poses high rate of amputation due to anatomical characteristics or delayed diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the present study is to review the authors' experiences with this condition and identify factors contributing to disability. We reviewed 7 cases of popliteal artery injury in trauma around knee. Injury mechanism, type of vessel damage, associated injuries, mangled extremity severity scores (MESS), ischemic time and additional treatments were analyzed. Tibial fracture, distal femoral fracture and serious soft tissue defect were combined. Mean MESS was 9.9 point and mean time of revascularization was 7.1 hours. Transfemoral amputation was performed in 2 cases due to vascular insufficiency and devastating infection, and 4 patients were able to walk without any support at the last follow up. Age, the severity of soft tissue injury, ischemic time and MESS are thought to be related to prognosis, and young patients with short ischemic time show best results, but authors experienced one exceptional case. We have to consider multiple factors related to the prognosis in popliteal artery injury with fractures around knee, and careful decision is needed regarding to early amputation.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive cerebrovascular disease with unknown etiology, characterized by bilateral steno-occlusive changes at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery and an abnormal vascular network formation at the base of the brain. MMD has an intrinsic nature to convert the vascular supply for the brain from internal carotid (IC) system to the external carotid (EC) system, as indicated by Suzuki's angiographic staging. Insufficiency of this 'IC-EC conversion system' could result not only in cerebral ischemia, but also in intracranial hemorrhage from inadequate collateral anastomosis, both of which represent the clinical manifestation of MMD. Surgical revascularization prevents cerebral ischemic attack by improving cerebral blood flow, and recent evidence further suggests that extracranial-intracranial bypass could powerfully reduce the risk of re-bleeding in MMD patients with posterior hemorrhage, who were known to have extremely high re-bleeding risk. Although the exact mechanism underlying the hemorrhagic presentation in MMD is undetermined, most recent angiographic analysis revealed the characteristic angio-architecture related to high re-bleeding risk, such as the extension and dilatation of choroidal collaterals and posterior cerebral artery involvement. We sought to update the current management strategy for hemorrhagic MMD, including the outcome of surgical revascularization for hemorrhagic MMD in our institute. Further investigations will clarify the optimal surgical strategy to prevent hemorrhagic manifestation in patients with MMD.

광범위한 기관의 병변시 동종이식 편을 이용한 기관 대치 술이나 폐 이식술시 공여 기관 및 기관지의 허혈 은 심각한 문제로서 공여 기관의 궤양 및 협착, 문합부위의 치유장애로 인한 문합부위의 분리로 나타나게 된다. 이러한 공여 기관의 허혈을 방지하기 위하여 여러 연구가 있어 왔으며 현재는 대망 성형술 및 여러 종류의 성장인자가 각광을 받고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 대망 성형술 및 염기 섬유아세포 성장인자가 허혈 에 빠진 공여 기관의 혈관 재형성 및 상피세포 재생에 어느만큼 기여하는지 조사하였다. 약 2cm정도의 토끼 경부 기판을 완전히 절제한 후 다시 연결해 주는 자가 이식을 시행한 군, 자가 이식 및 대망 성형술을 시행한 군, 자가 이식'및 1 us의 염기 섬 유아세포 성장인자를 도포한 군의 3군으로 나누 었다. 각각 술후 3일과 7일 그리고 14일 후에 99m Technetium이 부착된 인혈청 알부민의 흡수 정도를 측정하였고 병리조직학적 검사를 시행하여 상피세포의 재생 정도를 관찰하였다. 술후 3일째 99m Technetium 흡수정도로 측정한 혈관 재형성 정도에 있어서 염기 섬 유아세포 성장인자를 도포한 군에서 다른 두군에 비해 통계학적으로 \ulcorner의하게 혈관 재형성이 좋았다(p<0.05). 그러나 술후 7일째 및 14일째 측정한 결과는 세군 간에 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 술후 3일과 7일에 측정한 상피세포 재생정도 에 있어서도 염기 섬 유아세포 성장인자를 도포한 군에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 다른 두군에서보다 좋았다(p<0.05). 그러나 술후 14일째 검사한 상피세포 재생정도에 있어서는 세군 간에 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 국소적인 염기 섬 유아세포 성장인자의 도포는 허혈에 빠진 공며 기관의 혈관 재형성 및 상피 세포 재생을 촉진시키는 것을 알 수 있었으며 특히 초기에 허혈에 빠진 공여기관의 혈관재형성을 촉진시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) is a treatment option to replace damaged pulp tissue with the viable tissue which restores the normal function of the pulp-dentin complex. Possible reason for doing REP is not clearly known, however, clinicians perform REP in order to recover the histological structure as well as function of the traumatized and diseased tooth so that this tooth can restore its original root shape and thickness. This REP can be explained by the concept of revascularization or revitalization after induction of blood clot formation in the canal space. For this purpose, several treatment strategies have been suggested. In this regard, the rationale for the application of triantibiotics, calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate is discussed in this paper. As a result, we will try to find the best method for REP by reviewing each available technique and their advantages and disadvantages.

A 74-year-old patient was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage suspected from a dissecting aneurysm located at the lateral medullary segment of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). Because perforators to the medulla arose both proximal and distal to the dissecting segment, revascularization for distal flow was essential. However, several previously reported methods for anastomosis, such as an occipital artery-PICA bypass or resection with PICA end-to-end anastomosis could not be used. Ultimately, we performed an in situ side-to-side anastomosis of the proximal loop of the PICA with distal caudal loops within a single artery, as a "closing omega," followed by trapping of the dissected segment. The aneurysm was obliterated successfully, with intact patency of the revascularized PICA.

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare, serious complication of carotid revascularization either after carotid endarterectomy or carotid stent placement. Although extensive effort has been devoted to reducing the incidence of CHS, little is known about the prevention. Postprocedural hypertension is very rare due to autoregulation of carotid baroreceptors but may occur if presented with autonomic dysfunction. We present two cases of CHS after cerebral revascularization that presented autonomic dysfunction.
